Have any of you successfully negotiated a mid-year market adjustment, or is it better to just look for a new firm?I recently discovered that I make significantly less than the EA who was here before me, despite having more experience and a heavier workload. I brought it up to HR, and they gave me a vague answer about market adjustments and budget cycles.

I don’t think you can start with HR. I think you have to go to the person you report directly too.

I'm going through this myself. I mentioned it to my boss two years ago. I did ger a market adjustment, but its still pretty low for an EA role in my area and my responsibilities.

If you're not happy with your salary, you should start looking. Although, it's TOUGH out there. We should be happy we've got jobs.

Does anyone have a preferred car service company? I am looking for a service that can consistently provide traveler alerts such as when car has arrived, passenger is on board, trip competed, etc. across US cities. I have found a company that will do this when I book travel in NYC, but when my Professionals arrive in their destination cities the affiliates do not offer this same feature. Any suggestions? Thank you!
